I go back and forth with my opinions of Adam Lambert. Sometimes I think I understand who he is, and sometimes I don't think we'll ever know who the real Adam really is. The more and more I see, I keep thinking it'll clear it all up for me, but ...

After having the following conversation with some friends after the American Idol results show tonight, I decided to turn it into a post. There are two necessary ingredients to being a winner, whether it's the winner of a reality show, the winner of a poker game, or the winner of ...

This is the final chance to win a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire giveaway. Reality Shack has been excited to offer you three gift pack giveaways to coincide with Sweeps Month promotions. The celebrities seem to be having a lot of fun, and Millionaire is making sure the fans ...

ABC's latest Bachelor appears almost perfect on paper. He's cute enough. He's a Navy Lieutenant, he's a doctor, a humanitarian, a former Sunday school teacher, and he's an Iron Man triathelete. He's also sensitive. This past week we saw him attend to an injured Bevin, even accompanying her to the ...

For everyone who was intensely interested to see how the Rocker and Drew eliminations would alter the tribe dynamics going forward…well, too bad, so sad. We have new tribes. As with most tribal shakeups, the new tribes have some intriguing scenarios too. You can’t control the random nature of things. My favorite one was when All-Stars did a second tribal shakeup and the tribes stayed virtually the same – except Amber. Of course that led to the Rob-Lex feud – so it was totally worth [...]

Forget the Rocker madness…this one rocked. I’m going to delay mentioning the name of the ousted Survivor so those on my Facebook feed don’t get spoiled until they click the link. So, what’s going on? The Royals are in the World Series. There’s an epidemic in Africa. Prince is hosting SNL. There’s a new version of “Twin Peaks” being made. There’s war in the Middle East and Russia is being a major concern. So, instead of being closer to the 2015 in “Back to The [...]

And the Great John Rocker Experiment comes to an end. Interestingly enough, the former ball player gets the boot at the exact same point in the game that former coach Jimmy Johnson got tossed. There were completely different reasons, of course, but I am sure celebrity played a fairly large and undercover end part in the Rocker elimination. Yes, Rocker had tons of baggage and his mouth got him in a lot of trouble in this episode. He also played a rather strange game of [...]

I am just happy I got to make a reference to a Nine Inch Nails’ song in the title. That mea culpa I made last week about Rocker? I’m taking it back. Next week seems to indicate that the old John Rocker is about to come out and play. This week we learned that he doesn’t really truly understand how to play Survivor – even if he is trying to play the game. And incredibly, despite his mistakes, he didn’t make the worst one. That [...]

I know – new season, same late entry. Yada yada yada. The funniest part about writing the Survivor previews every season is that I almost always turn out to be horribly wrong. That’s the dangers of writing about things based solely on the written word. It is hard to learn about context when you are only reading people’s thoughts. You don’t actually see them interact with other people. You don’t see how they respond to the harsh conditions that is the actual game of Survivor. [...]

You know what time it is, folks? It’s Survivor Time! Do you want to know what you’re playing for? Survivors ready! The tribe has spoken. Do you want to knock your husband to the ground? Wait, what was that last one? That’s right, we are back with more Blood vs. Water (for our new fans – it is a season where family members compete. Will blood be thicker than water? Will people vote out their mothers in the hope of willing a million bucks? What [...]

Well, I would not ask Woooooooo! for advice on how to obtain it. Wooooooo!, meet Colby. You two are now forever entwined in Survivor lore when it comes to how to not select an opponent in the Final Two. Before I get into the finale of one of the best seasons of this show – an incredible feat for a show that has now put on 28 seasons, I need to address something. I am posting this a week late – sort of a reminder [...]

Well, that was certainly an interesting episode. Any Survivor episode that includes references to Skeletor, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Pauly Shore, an interesting pitch for a retro 80s teen movie, llama sounds, and, of course, a late season blindside is certainly an episode worth viewing. And I didn’t even mention one of my favorite challenges – the Cake The Survivors Full Of Mud Challenge. Great episode, Survivor. And it leaves a fascinating Final Four out there. I don’t even know where to begin. [...]

Sometimes I hate being correct. Now, one thing to tell you. I had a crazy work week coupled with a trip to New York to spend time with some people very dear to me. Plus a Billy Joel concert. And a Broadway show – who could have predicted that a Bridges of Madison County Musical would be so amazing? So that’s why we have a super late post this week. Sadly, the part where I am correct and a man with solid predictions is where [...]

That title has a double meaning. And it is sure sign of what you think of my writing – because if you like cheap jokes about contestants’ names…then you probably will track me down and ask me to autograph your laptop. Computer. Not your…oh ok, I’ll stop. This season is the opposite of bland. It is exciting, spicy, unpredictable and full of insanity. In addition, the show is now the opposite of a show featuring Jefra Bland. It is now Jefra-free. And yes, Jefra’s actual [...]
